Finidi George has resigned from his position as head coach of the Super Eagles, just days after the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced intentions to appoint a foreign technical adviser.
The news of his resignation was confirmed on Saturday by former Super Eagles media officer, Toyin Ibitoye, who posted on his X account, “News just in: Finidi George @FinidiGeorge_FG has resigned from his @NGSuperEagles manager position.”
Finidi’s tenure as head coach was short-lived, having been appointed on April 29, 2024, to replace Jose Peseiro, whose contract expired in February. During his brief stint, Finidi managed a 1-1 draw against South Africa and a 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic in the 2026 World Cup qualifying series.
Ibitoye’s announcement included a tweet with the message, “Finidi George @FinidiGeorge_FG has resigned from his @NGSuperEagles manager position,” further confirming the development.
The decision by the NFF to seek a foreign technical adviser appears to have prompted Finidi’s resignation, ending his brief period in charge of the national team.
